Tonight at 7:00 pm Dark Delicacies (822 N. Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA) presents directors Mick Garris, Alejandro Brugues, Joe Dante, writer RC Matheson, Belinda Balaski and Dirk Rogers signing Nightmare Cinema posters!
As per the signing event, there are giveaways that vary depending on your level of participation. They will be giving out banners (approx. 16″X16″) of some of the Nightmare Cinema titles as well as posters.
Cranked Up Films will be releasing it in limited theaters and on VOD platforms June 21, 2019.
The horror anthology features shorts from five genre directors: Mick Garris (Critters 2, Sleepwalkers, “The Shining” miniseries), Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling, Piranha, The Hole), David Slade (30 Days of Night), Ryuhei Kitamura (Downrange, Versus) and Alejandro Brugues (Juan of the Dead).
Mickey Rourke stars as the ghost-like projectionist who serves as the common link for each of the five shorts.
“A series of down-on-their-luck individuals enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings. By the time our patrons realize the truth, escape is no longer an option. For once the ticket is torn, their fate is sealed at Nightmare Cinema.”
Garris directed “Dead” from his own script; Brugues directed and wrote “The Thing in the Woods”; Dante directed “Mirari,” written by Richard Christian Matheson; Kitamura directs “Mashit,” written by Mexican author and filmmaker Sandra Becerril; and Slade directed “The Way to Egress,” based on the short story “Traumatic Descent” by Lawrence C. Connolly, who co-wrote the short film with Slade.
Here’s the trailer debut that offers a glimpse of each and every short story:
